........... "Live one day at a time and make it a masterpiece"
I was going to buy a printer a few months ago...but my dad and I decided not to. (it was my dad's idea to get one).
We were going to get the R1800; though Epson also makes an R2400 and a bunch of other ones. I hear they are ink jets vs die sub (which is a good thing). They print excellent B&Ws (so i've heard). People on dpreview.com forums talk about them quite a bit. They also print 13" wide and something ridiculously long (like 40" or something). Epson is one of the better printer companies. <--- I have no proof to back this up. People on dpreview.com do, though.
In all honesty; i don't have a true answer to your question. Just telling you we were about to get the R1800 (after going through a bunch of reviews/forums/etc).

the R2400 is the best printer for the money I've ever had - quality is stunning and the K3 inks are extremely light fast even when exposed to direct sunlight on display. only down side is that the ink cartridges are very small and it devours them very quickly. there will probably be a new raft of printers from Epson soon as they have a new extended gamut ink set already out on their larger stylus pro proofers.

A smart bomb is only as clever as the idiot that tells it what to do
I have the R1800, love it and the R2400 is totally awesome. I am thinking of upgrading to the Epson 7800. Mediastreet inks is the way to go for these printers. save 80% on ink and they will make an icc profile for whatever paper you are using. So think strongly on the R2400. You will love it. Eric J.

eric - the 7800 has been replaced now by the 7880 along with all the other large format Epson's that include the new ink gamut with vivid magenta. the 3800 has also been introduced that slots in between the 2400 and new 4880 although this appears to be the regular K3 inks - not the new vivd ink set. most of the top end Epson's can take bulk ink solutions although I have found the longevity of the colour is not so good on these solutions. they can also take Pantone inks but I haven't used them so couldn't comment on their abilities.

Henry Wilhelm has tested Mediastreet longevity and says its as good as oem carts.(www.wilhelm-research.com)

I'm on my second Canon PIXMA printer...started with the iP3000 ($70US), now have the iP6700D ($150US). Both make beautiful prints.

I got me a Epson printer a few months ago, and it is fantastic!
It prints out great clear photos, and is easy to work with. I even buy refurbished cartileges and they work great wonderfully.
They cost half the price of Epsons own brand. But I had heard that Epson has the best printers, and they for sure do!! You don't have to buy the most expensive one either. I print up gorgeous glossy prints, and this Epson only cost me about $130

Life is a great big
canvas, and you should throw all the paint on it you can!(Danny Kaye)
I think the main thing is to always ask for a sample of what it prints before buying.
My original computer came with the most basic Epson printer (now well out of production) and it printed superb pictures. When it died I bought another Epson (Stylus C63) as a fill-in until I could afford a better one and am disappointed that the print quality is not as good as the basic one.
My experiment with refill inks with the C63 was disastrous - the colours were not true and was false economy, even though I saved $30 I will always use the genuine Epson from now on. On my old one I used generic inks which lasted longer and gave better results.
I wish it hadn't died lol
This is an ineresting thread thanks, and has given me food for thought. I may just poison the C643 so I have to replace it :)

The question is not what you look at, but what you see ~ Marcel Proust
I got me a PIXMA MP600; really good prints up to letter size, no need for extra special ink either, its been upgraded to the 610 now so its even better. but if you don't need the all-in-one, then its over-kill.

I have a quick question: What printer would you recommend for printing portraits? I've heard Epson printers aren't that bad, but I don't know, something that's in a $<2000 mark... Anyone has any ideas?
Thank you,
Serge
